History YMMV / DisneyInfinity

** Also in the same game (''1.0'') as Sorcerer's Apprentice Mickey, we have the adorable resident Incredible herself in Violet who was also just as much of a force in combat and was the one who could truly rival Sorcerer's Apprentice Mickey in terms of sheer brokeness. Boasting one of the most damaging melee combo attacks in the game, not only did it come out blindly fast, but dealt a huge amount of damage in just a few hits and can be spammed in quick succession. Violet's Invisibility was also broken as it rendered her fully invisible on the map (making it impossible to spot her coming in PvP) which made up for her not having a range attack, making Violet the only playable character in Infinity's lineup to be strictly Melee based (also equipping Violet with any range weapon and using it while she's Invisible will allow her to pull off sneak attacks that won't cause her invisibility state to break). Disney Interactive saw fit to nerf Violet a little going into ''2.0'' (such as by giving her invisibility an outline, making her far easier to spot for local play and thus allowing players to anticipate her moves a little easier, though online is a different story) and nerfing her range attacks by ''not allowing any range attacks upgrade'' in her skill tree [[note]](since her Invisibility takes up the slot for range attacks)[[/note]], forcing Violet to go full on Melee. But her high damage output remained and also buffing her further by giving her a shield in her skill tree that lets her function as a ''high damage tank'', making Violet even far more difficult to wear down in PvP [[note]](to the point that even ''Marvel'' powerhouses such as ''Hulk'', ''Thor'' and ''Venom'' struggles against her incredible might with again only Sorcerer's Apprentice Mickey and now Syndrome being able to truly fight off Violet (even the most powerful Disney Original character in ''Big Hero 6's'' Hiro Hamada struggles horribly against Violet due to his melee attacks being all range, meaning he has a higher chance to miss his targets)[[/note]], she was finally nerfed for ''3.0'' (Violet's damage output was hit the 2nd hardest to where it's comparable to Hiro's damage output), though she was made ''tankier'' and her attacks getting a speed boost as a result to compensate.
** In PvP from 2.0 onwards Syndrome has since become this, because his Zero Point Energy is an ''infinite combo off a locking, high velocity projectile'', practically stun-locking every playable character in the roster to where they can't do anything at all and it's ''unblockable'' and like some characters, he comes equipped with a shield buff in his skill tree, making Syndrome as much of a nightmare to face in PvP due to his tank status.
** In 3.0 for the ''Star Wars'' side we have the legendary Grand Jedi Master himself in Master Yoda who's also a beast to fight against in PvP, primarily because of one move: his Super Special move which he strikes at lightning speeds [[note]](the same move he used to fight against Count Dooku in ''Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones'' and throughout the ''Clone Wars'' series)[[/note]]. When fully maxed out, it can practically defeat any character in the roster once it starts hitting, meaning that characters who have very high shields [[note]](the 2.0 version of Iron Man, Syndrome, Violet, and Hulkbuster)[[/note]] will get sliced and diced very quickly before they knew what happened and go down fairly quickly long before Yoda's animation finishes.

** The [="#SaveDisneyInfinity"=] hashtag and "I'm IN", the rallying cries of those [[SendingStuffToSaveTheShow trying to revive the series]] have gathered some steam on social media websites such as Twitter, Tumblr, and [=YouTube=].

** Film/TheLoneRanger and Tonto couldn’t have joined the game at any other point, as their film got the “accolade” of being one of the biggest {{Box Office Bomb}}s ever made, making them the most JustForFun/{{Egregious}} examples in a game filled with egregious examples. Both came out in 2013, which was the only year that Creator/{{Disney}} would even openly acknowledge the movie in such a large manner. Not only that, but the Ranger himself was reprised by his film actor, Creator/ArmieHammer, whose career has since been [[RoleEndingMisdemeanor absolutely destroyed]] by a rather embarrassing [[ImAHumanitarian cannibalism scandal]], making it rather awkward to associate him now with a family-friendly game.

** ''Disney Infinity'' fans clashed with those of ''VideoGame/{{Skylanders}}'' after they were still reeling from the sudden cancellation of ''Infinity''. Activision's announcement of the next installment of ''Skylanders'' -- ''Skylanders: Imaginators'' -- had the Infiniteers already understandably miffed, seeing as how soon it had been since the announcement of ''Infinity'''s end...but then [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RsVPm4Hby0 the official trailer]] chose to use the term "Infinite Possibilities" (''one of Infinity's own [[TagLine Tag Lines]]'') to describe their gameplay. Of course, ''Skylanders'' withering on the vine shortly afterwards thanks to the "interactive toys" craze dying out rendered this rivalry moot.

* AnnoyingVideoGameHelper: [[TheScrappy The announcer]] can ''really'' grate on one's nerves after the umpteenth time he walks you through the "Packs and Tools" and "Mission Log" tutorials. He'll even talk over character dialogue.

** [[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 Elsa]], a Toy Box only character who wasn't even included in the original game intro, was name-dropped by Infinity's executive producer as [[http://www.businessinsider.my/lots-of-female-gamers-play-disney-infinity-2014-9/ one of the top selling figures from the first game]].

** And even among the 1.0 characters, the ''WesternAnimation/{{Cars}}'' get this especially bad as [[CripplingOverspecialization they are mostly made for racing-type games and not platforming or other types of games that can be made in Infinity]], can't be used in Toy Box Takeover in 3.0 and are unable to use certain Power Discs.

* UnexpectedCharacter: While they didn't get as far as having gameplay or physical figures, when word got out that [[Film/{{Avatar}} Jake Sully and Neytiri]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFPsGH0WWak were considered for inclusion in Infinity]], the fanbase was quite surprised. Even with the reasoning for their considered inclusion (to tie into the new ''Avatar'' attractions at Disney World), it was still seen as an odd choice since ''Avatar'' is mostly associated with Fox and not Disney, though Disney's purchase of 20th Century Fox has since rendered the argument moot.

** [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy Yondu]] was mostly seen as a pointless addition to the roster by the fanbase (considering that he is vastly overshadowed by Star-Lord and company as well as Ronan) and as a result, was one of the poorest-selling characters in the game [[http://kotaku.com/sources-the-ambitious-now-cancelled-plans-for-disney-1776370484 according to this article.]]

* AuthorsSavingThrow:
** After the infamous PC-exclusive debacle, the leak of [[Film/TronLegacy Sam and Quorra]] finally getting figures in the ''3.0'' edition of the game pleased the fans.
** The introduction of pre-CGI Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon characters (such as [[WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch Stitch]], [[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} Aladdin and Jasmine]], WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}, etc.) could be seen as acknowledgement of complaints about the lack of such characters.
** A common complaint about the power discs was that they could only be obtained via blind bags with no guarantee of getting them, forcing players to buy dozens in the hopes of getting the one they wanted. ''3.0'' changed this system by putting the new power discs in specifically-marked packs of four, making them much easier to obtain than those from previous versions.
** With the fandom still reeling from the news that the PC, mobile, and Apple TV versions of ''3.0'' had been dropped, it was a pleasant surprise to find that [[WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}} Nick, Judy]], and [[WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook1967 Baloo]] would still be added to the mobile version as part of an update. [[YankTheDogsChain Then the franchise was cancelled.]]
** To make up for the removal of the digital PC versions after the series' cancellation, Creator/{{Disney}} later released all three games on UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} with all content ever released included as "Gold Editions". The only downside is that, unless you bought DLC (redeeming web codes don't count), you have to pay for them.

** There was a bit of an in-fandom "pick-me-no-pick-me" rivalry between those who wanted [[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls Dipper and Mabel]] as playable characters in the game and those who wanted WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck instead, with folks on either side insisting that their character(s) be added instead of the other(s). Unfortunately, the series' cancellation meant that ultimately none of them got in the game.

** Averted. The majority of the roster is comprised of characters from source material originating from the 2000s. The exceptions are Mickey Mouse (of course), Jack Skellington and Maleficent, and that's not counting the Marvel heroes: the oldest character amongst the latter group is ComicBook/CaptainAmerica, who made his debut in 1941. This makes him the second oldest character in the entire game behind Mickey. In a notable exception, the game uses Sam Alexander, the [[AffirmativeActionLegacy second]] ComicBook/{{Nova}}, rather than Richard Rider, the original Nova. It also features Carol Danvers in her Captain Marvel persona rather than as ComicBook/MsMarvel, [[note]](likely due to Kamala Khan's upcoming debut as the new Ms. Marvel around the time of ''2.0's'' release)[[/note]].

** Also in the same game (''1.0'') as Sorcerer's Apprentice Mickey, we have the adorable resident Incredible herself in Violet who was also just as much of a force in combat and was the one who could truly rival Sorcerer's Apprentice Mickey in terms of sheer brokeness. Boasting one of the most damaging melee combo attacks in the game, not only did it come out blindly fast, but dealt a huge amount of damage in just a few hits and can be spammed in quick succession. Violet's Invisibility was also broken as it rendered her fully invisible on the map (making it impossible to spot her coming in PvP) which made up for her not having a range attacks (also equipping Violet with any range weapon and using it while she's Invisible will allow her to pull off sneak attacks that won't cause her invisibility state to break). Disney Interactive saw fit to nerf Violet a little going into ''2.0'' (such as by giving her invisibility an outline, making her far easier to spot for local play and thus allowing players to anticipate her moves a little easier, though online is a different story) and nerfing her range attacks by ''not allowing a range attacks upgrade'' in her skill tree, forcing Violet to go full on Melee. But her high damage output remained and also buffing her further by giving her a shield in her skill tree that lets her function as a ''high damage tank'', making Violet even far more difficult to wear down in PvP [[note]](to the point that even ''Marvel'' powerhouses such as ''Hulk'', ''Thor'' and ''Venom'' struggles against her incredible might with again only Sorcerer's Apprentice Mickey and now Syndrome being able to truly fight off Violet (even the most powerful Disney Original character in ''Big Hero 6's'' Hiro Hamada struggles horribly against Violet due to his melee attacks being all range, meaning he has a higher chance to miss his targets)[[/note]], she was finally nerfed for ''3.0'' (Violet's damage output was hit the 2nd hardest to where it's comparable to Hiro's damage output), though she was made ''tankier'' and her attacks getting a speed boost as a result to compensate.

** Different iterations of the same character (such as First Avenger Captain America and, to a lesser extent, Black Suit Spiderman) tend to get some criticism for essentially being the same character with a different skin. Only Mickey Mouse (who has his standard red shorts and his [[WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}} Sorcerer's Apprentice]] outfit as figures) tends to escape this stigma as the two different Mickeys have some marked differences.

** Special mention has to go to ComicBook/{{Venom}}, even moreso after the release of his solo movie. "We...Are...'''VENOM!'''"

* GameBreaker: Sorcerer's Apprentice Mickey Mouse was ''by far'' the most powerful character in ''1.0'' (with Violet Parr and Elsa as the two closest contenders for most powerful character in ''1.0'', though Violet was often the one that could lay her claim to fame as the one who could truly challenge Sorcerer's Apprentice Mickey in 1.0), being easily capable of wiping out rooms of enemies with his strong, far-reaching melee attack and a spammable, multi-hit projectile that could stunlock and destroy numerous enemies by itself. Sorcerer's Apprentice Mickey was so powerful, ''3.0'' went out of its way to nerf his power and fire rate, and he's still a formidable force despite said nerfs.

** Parodied in the Toy Box Takeover where Syndrome complains about Wreck-It Ralph, Randy, Hector Barbossa, and Maleficent representing villains when they're more "grey area" characters.

** For the ''Star Wars'' side, we have Ashoka Tano (who's already an {{Ensemble Dark Horse}} herself in the ''Clone Wars'' TV show) and Obi-Wan to represent the Prequel Era (especially since Prequel Obi-Wan is best know for his iconic {{Memeitic Mutation}}), and Darth Vader to represent the Original Trilogy whom is just as powerful as ever, he even has his iconic Imperial March theme play whenever he's summoned by the player (before it was patched out), even in the Toy Box mode.

** [[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles Violet]] oddly enough is this for the entire Incredibles fanbase (with Dash being a close second). Fans have said she's the most powerful playable character in ''1.0'' (even though the honor belongs to Sorcerer's Apprentice Mickey, though it's very close). By the time of ''2.0'''s release, [[http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=55562 she was hard to find in stores due to high demand]].
